		<title>Technical Difficulties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We apologize, but the regularly scheduled game blog can&#8217;t happen. Looks like the Tigers encrypted their network earlier this week and Gary wasn&#8217;t able to get on his laptop while in the pressbox so we&#8217;ll see if we can do this again soon.

		<title>Outta Here!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Final comments:
The crowd of 44,588 seemed a bit subdued for such a huge win with lots of offensive fireworks today. Maybe half of them fell asleep while Texas pitchers were walking hitter after hitter&#8230;
The Texas media bio of K. Benson says he&#8217;s married to Anna. Now I can rest securely&#8230;
To misapply the words of great, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kris Benson:  5 IP / 10 H/ 8 R / 7 ER/ 2 BB / 3 K / 66 strikes (mostly BP fastballs) / 35 balls.  Losing ugly if ever I saw it.
Josh Rupe:  1.1 IP/4 H/3 R/ 3 ER/ 3 BB / 0 K / 18 strikes / 20 balls. Ugh!
Miguel Cabrera: 5 AB [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stat of the Day (so far)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the Comerica Park scoreboard (underneath Texas lineup):
58  Rupe P 54.00 (ERA)
Gag me with a rosin bag. I can&#8217;t believe Texas skipper Ron Washington left that humpty out there so long. What does he have against Detroit fans?
This guy couldn&#8217;t pitch BP to Paul Bunyan and get the ball in the strike zone.

In order for a fielding play on which a batter reaches base or a batter or runner advances an extra base can be scored an error, it must meet four [...]]]></description>

		<title>Standards of Scoring in the 21st Century</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not that I need to state the obvious, but the standards of official scoring in the past decade have become so low that no self-respecting weasel would ever take the job.
I offer as Exhibit A the &#8220;base hit&#8221; by Ordonez in the 3rd inning that went right under the glove of TEX 3B Michael Young. [...]]]></description>

So I don&#8217;t get any hits (at least on the first page of results) for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Horseshit. adj. The quality or state of being bad, wrong, or misleading. As in a &#8220;horeshit fastball&#8221; or a &#8220;horseshit opinion.&#8221;
&#8220;Happy horseshit&#8221; means a fatuously stupid opinion. Abbreviated &#8220;HHS&#8221; in polite society.
Not to be confused with bullshit&#8230;
Bullshit. n. or v. Untrue. A lie. As in &#8220;That&#8217;s bullshit.&#8221; Or &#8220;Stop bullshitting me.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Opening Day in the press box is like an annual reunion for the grizzled scribes and electronic &#8220;journalists&#8221; in the media. Lots of old-timers who don&#8217;t show up for most of the rest of the year, plus the usual complement of celebrities&#8230;
Al Kaline and Willie Horton, of course&#8211;who both work for the Tigers&#8211;are here. Ernie [...]]]></description>

The Pepsi Porch, which last year had a tier of temporary bleachers installed on it, is crowded with gawkers hanging over the railing. The temporary bleachers under the LF scoreboard, new last year, remain, however.

		<title>Today&#8217;s Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be posting my observations today during and after the game&#8211;not so much about the game itself as about the carnival that surrounds it.
The pre-game was a bit more interesting than usual. Normally, participating in pre-game ceremonies is a favor shown to VIPs or sponsors.  Today Kid Rock was part of the ceremonial first pitch(es), [...]]]></description>

		<title>AL Central Preview</title>

		<title>A Pair of Whitecaps Pitchers Stand Out in ’08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s Note - Dan D&#8217;Addona covers, amongst other things, the West Michigan White Caps for the Holland Sentinal.  By far the most consistent Tigers&#8217; affiliate, West Michigan once again made the post season although their championship streak did end in 2008.  There&#8217;s some interesting names that spent time near Grand Rapids with two of them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Erie Looking to Future Despite Disappointing ’08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s Note - Double A has widely been regarded as the place where near Major League ready prospects make their mark and the fact that Erie struggled at times last year shows how thin Tigers farm system is.  Still, the 2008 SeaWolves tell an interesting story.  Lee Panas, who penned this column, covers the Tigers [...]]]></description>

A few of these guys are still at big league camp so if you run across a name you&#8217;re not familiar with, then this is a great place to go if you want a quick synopsis.
